The single version of Sway (b-side from the Wild Horses single) can be found on the following bootlegs:

- Beggars Breakfast (Invasion Unlimited IU 9411-1)
- Rare On Mainstreet (Tong Records TU 9411-1)
- Thee Satanic Sessions (DIA CD 002)
- Time Trip - Vol.2 (RS 100-2)
- Tricky Fingers & Slicky Ringers (LU 9316)

Which one has the best sounding (& complete) version?

It can also be found on The Black Box, but that version fades in, very annoying.

René

the Most complete AND the Best sounding IS the single....

JR

I know, but mine is full of scratches. Trying to find a unplayed copy for a long time now, no succes up till now. So a good sounding bootleg version seems a good alternative for the time beeing......

Time Trip II is the best version from the above (IMO)

OK, thanx Potted Shrimp!
Are you aware of a bootleg with a even better version than the one on Time Trip?

René

Niet echt, de meeste versie zijn een beetje 'dof'. Misschien omdat al deze versies van de single getrokken zijn en niet vanaf de tape.

Is the Sway b-side just a shortend version of the album track?

No, it's an alt. take / mix with Keith on audible back up vocals

To Potted Schrimp:

OK man, bedankt voor de info! Heb je mijn vragen over All Down The Line & Before They Make Me Run in het forum ook gezien? Misschien weet je hier ook een antwoord op.........? Heb die singles wel, maar deze zijn zeker niet in perfecte staat, probeer "unplayed" exemplaren te bemachtigen, maar dat valt niet mee...

To the rest:

This alt. take of Sway is better than the original IMO. Bit rougher mix maybe, also some different vocal parts of Jagger apart from the back-up from Keith. It seems like the strings are a bit higher in the mix also. No count in as on the Sticky Fingers version and it fades out earlier (only a few seconds).
